Is Dictaphone EXText compatible with Word 2007?

LOL, they still aren't compatible with Vista or Word 2007...

Is the platform compatible with an expansion
I don't mean using the features in MS-Word (Auto-Text, etc.), but something like Smartype or Shorthand? When I interviewed with them a couple of years ago, I was very impressed with them, but I can't fly without an Expander and there were issues with Lotus not counting expanded text with every expander I asked to use with it. It was only for that reason that I did not accept a position with them.

the bayscribe platform is supposed to be compatible,
so you could go with companies that use that.
Bayscribe platform is compatible with Vista.
You just need to find a company that uses Bayscribe. There may be other platforms but I don't know of any.
Is Instant Text compatible with Axolotl's platform? Thanks!

Or do they have their own expansion software?  If so, what is it?


Thanks! 


The Acusis platform is compatible with a 64-bit operating system. nm

Reputable company w/ platform compatible w/ InstanText/Shorthand

Am heavily dependent on sophisticated Expanders that incorporate code script, like ShortHand and InstanText.  Can anyone recommend reputable employers whose platforms are compatible with these programs? 


MDI-ers: Is Instant Text compatible with MDI's platform? Do they offer health benefits? nm

Does the Emdat platform use Word or is it Word-based? nm
nm
The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
The platform is not Word, but it is Word-based. I
had little Word experience and the recruiter told me to try to find a book to learn the basics of Word as their program is Word-based. 
Do you know any MTs who use Word for their platform?

How about straight Word platform at
Easy enough? Is Meditech anything like that? I've never used Meditech personally.
I don't think it's a platform. I think it is just typing in Word. nm

Is that a Word-based platform?
I just applied for that position and they e-mailed me with some questions.
If you are working in a Word platform
and not some confabulated platform, then the autocorrect that is part of MS Word is more than adequate for macros and expanding words. That is all I have used for the last 10 years and do just fine. Save your money.
Word based platform
Are there any GOOD companiesthat work on a Word-based platform?
they run off a word-based platform
it's not very stream-lined and kinda klunky, but efficient enough.  I know they've made recent updates to make it run a little faster, but there were times when i would spent two to three minutes after filling out the screen waiting for my work screen to appear. 
FN uses iType platform for Word...nm

MDI-FL - is the internet platform/MS word a good

platform.  I understand they have about 4 different platforms.  I would be interested in the proprietary internet platform that uses MS Word.  Is it user friendly and productive, can you see your line counts immediately, what type of short cut Expander is used, and the type of voice player to download jobs?


Thanks


Company that uses MS word insteadof their platform.

Did  a search, did not come up with any.  TIA


Their own platform. Shorthand, Word based. nm

I type in Word and use the Scribe platform...
but I don't use a C-phone...
Is the platform good? Word-based? Is the new
position still recruiting? Just passed the written and doing the transcription next..
It is their own platform but not word based. Shorthand is the macro stuff.
Pretty decent place to work.

ExText is integrated with Word. Auto correct is a part of Word.
ExText is a Word based platform. When the page opens for you to type the document it will be just like you are typing in MS Word.

You use your own expander. Overall I feel it is user friendly and I like it.
I don't know why it's not compatible
Are you talking about your MS Word autotext?
As far as I know, nothing is compatible with Medrite, sm
especially if you are working in DOS. I worked on it for over a year and never did get the hang of remembering my own word expansions. I used IT too long and could not get used to anything else.
VISTA IS COMPATIBLE
I dont know who told you VISTA was not compatible but it most certainly is! I bought a new laptop with Vista and have been working without any problems whatsoever. If you're having a problem downloading it, it's because you must first sign in as, run as administrator...then it will download for you...
Anybody know of any companies that are compatible with the

Would love to be working on my own computer which has Vista on it.

vonage is compatible with 911 - you just have to set it up - nm

MT equipment is often not compatible with VoIP too.
For example:

If you need your (*) key to sign off on a job, it may not work because some phone plans/phone cards will use that key to disconnect you so you can dial another number to avoid having to dial in again and enter your whole ID# and PIN# all over again.
Same goes for the (#) key; some may use this key for that function, which might be a key you need to get the header info. for each job or to repeat the header info.

It's very difficult for an MT to find a LD plan, and unfortunately, some MT companies out there don't realize this or simply don't care.
